The ACOPower 90W Tri-Fold Foldable Solar Panel Folds Down to Carry Anywhere and Charges Power Stations and Batteries at Camp
The ACOPower 90W Tri-Fold Foldable Solar Panel is a portable solar charger made up of three 30W monocrystalline panels. It produces up to 90 watts in full sun, with 17.6V at the maximum power point. With about 5 hours of good sun it can produce around 450 watt hours a day, depending on location and season.
This model ships without a charge controller, so it is ready to plug into a solar generator or power station with a built-in controller through MC4 adapters. To charge a 12V battery directly, ACOPower recommends adding a charge controller rated 10A or larger.
ACOPower 90W Tri-Fold Foldable Solar Panel Features
High-Efficiency Monocrystalline Cells
ACOPower uses monocrystalline cells with up to 23% conversion efficiency, so the panel delivers more power from a smaller footprint than polycrystalline designs.
Fold, Carry and Set Up
The three panels fold into a slim case with a carry handle. It unfolds to 1106 x 590 x 2 mm (43.5 x 23.2 x 0.1 in) and weighs 3.82 kg (8.4 lbs).
Expandable
Connect a second 90W panel in parallel with MC4 Y branch connectors to add current, or in series to charge a 24V battery through a suitable controller.
Real-World Applications
Camping and overlanding. Recharge a camper battery or portable fridge battery while parked in the sun.
Solar generators. Charge a portable power station through its built-in controller with MC4 adapters.
RV boondocking. Add solar without mounting panels on the roof, and park in the shade while the panel sits in the sun.
Emergency backup. Keep batteries charged during power outages.
How It Compares to Common Alternatives
Versus roof-mounted panels. A portable panel can be aimed at the sun and moved as it tracks across the sky, and it needs no drilling. Roof panels charge while you drive and need no setup.
Versus ACOPower kits with controllers. The PTK and PLK kits include a pre-installed 20A controller for direct battery charging. The 90W model is best when you already own a power station with a built-in controller.
Versus other sizes. ACOPower offers portable kits from 90W to 200W. Larger kits charge faster but fold to a bigger, heavier package.
Is This Portable Solar Kit the Right Fit
-
What you are charging. A power station or solar generator with a built-in controller, or a 12V battery with a separate controller.
-
Daily energy. Around 450Wh on a clear day, or roughly 32Ah into a 12V battery.
-
Setup. A sunny spot with no shade, within reach of your battery or power station.
-
Storage. Keep it folded and dry when not in use.
This may be a good fit if
- You camp or travel and want solar without roof mounting
- You need to keep a battery or power station charged off grid
- You already own a power station with a built-in controller
- You want something easy to store between trips
Common Questions
Does It Include a Charge Controller?
No. This 90W model is sold without a controller. Use it with a power station that has a built-in controller, or add a controller rated 10A or larger for a 12V battery.
Is It Waterproof?
It is built for outdoor use in fair weather. Fold and store it when rain is expected.
What Battery Settings Does It Support?
Battery settings depend on the charge controller or power station you connect it to.
How Do I Test It?
Set a multimeter to DC volts and measure across the MC4 cables in direct sun. ACOPower says open circuit voltage should read about 17.6V to 23V.
